FEATURED WORK
How to Grow a Reindeer
Welcome to the next adventure at Mr Pottifer’s Parlour of plants! How to Grow a Reindeer, the fourth book in the How to Grow Magic series is illustrated by Steven Lenton and published by Puffin.
When Sarah discovers that Santa’s reindeer have caught antler flu, she is quick to step in and help. Could a packet of Deerlia seeds be the answer to all of Santa’s problems?
Felix and The Future Agency
I am thrilled to share that Felix and the Future Agency, my debut middle grade, illustrated by Paddy Donnelly is out with Simon and Schuster in May.
Felix Green has never fitted in, mostly because people are weirded out by his ability to predict the future. When he is whisked away to join a top-secret government agency, hidden away in the heart of the London Underground, he finds himself using his magical abilities to protect the world from disaster.
How to Grow a Mermaid
The third book in the How to Grow Magic series by Steven and I is out now. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Mr Pottifer’s Parlour of Plants for a rather soggy adventure!
Merseeds at the ready! Plant in cold water with mother of pearl, then wiggle your nose, give a wink and a twirl…
As seen on CBeebies!
I was so thrilled to see How to Grow a Unicorn narrated by the amazing Cat Deeley in Episode 720 of CBeebies Bedtime Stories. It was broadcast on Thursday 2nd September 2021 and hopefully should be available on BBC iPlayer soon!
